Prawn Madras

Namaste,

We had tried several Indian restaurant since the past few years and some Indian food that I have tried just encourage me to try making it at home. One of the Indian dish that I made recently was prawn Madras. I don't expect the taste would be exactly the same as the food in Indian restaurant but these prawn Madras recipe were close in taste.

Some prawn Madras recipe content coconut milk but this recipe that I found somewhere in the internet without coconut milk and the prawn Madras that we had tried before doesn't seems cooked with coconut milk. Next time I should buy and use Madras curry powder that sells in Asian grocery store and may be the taste would be more authentic Indian and far more tasty. Who knows right?

Let's cook this prawn Madras and serve with rice or some Indian naan or prata bread, it taste really yummy.
